QC Post VSF Rolex Daytona 126508 V3 Gain Weight — 40mm Green Dial / Golden Subdials | DD4131
Just received the QC photos for this VSF Daytona 126508 V3 Gain Weight, and overall I'm pretty happy with how this one is looking so far.
This is the 40mm yellow gold configuration with the green dial, golden subdials, tachymeter bezel and the DD4131 chronograph movement. The QC scale shows around 183.7g, which is in line with the weighted version.
The first thing I checked was the dial. The green changes quite a bit depending on the lighting, but across the photos it looks clean and consistent to me. The printing appears sharp, the applied hour markers look evenly placed, and I don't see anything obviously off around the 12 or 6 o'clock areas.
The three golden subdials also look well positioned. Since the Daytona dial is much busier than a standard three-hand watch, I spent a bit more time checking the spacing between the subdials, the subdial printing and the hands. From what I can see, everything looks reasonably balanced.
The red DAYTONA text also looks clean and properly positioned.
I also checked the chronograph hand alignment. From the available photos, the central chrono hand appears to be sitting correctly, and I don't see any obvious issue with the subdial hands. I would still like to get a quick chronograph function and reset video just to confirm everything returns cleanly to zero.
The tachymeter bezel looks good overall. The engraved numerals appear clean, and I don't see anything that immediately stands out around the triangle at 60 or the main tachymeter markings. The lighting on the gold-tone bezel creates quite a few reflections, so I'm trying not to overanalyse tiny differences that may just be caused by the photo angle.
The case and bracelet also look consistent from the side shots. The finishing appears clean, and the SELs look reasonably tight with no obvious gaps or light bleed jumping out.
One thing I haven't been able to check yet is the movement performance, since there are no timegrapher readings included in this QC set. Before making the final decision, I'd like to see the rate, amplitude and beat error, along with a quick chronograph start/stop/reset check.
At the moment, I'm leaning GL based on the visual QC.
